Royal Valley Receives Funding for New School Busses
(KNZA)--Royal Valley USD 337 is among six Kansas school districts that will be able to upgrade their bus fleets to new, cleaner buses with a total of $355,000 in rebates from the Environmental Protection Agency.
USD 337 will receive $40,000 in rebates through EPA’s Diesel Emissions Reduction Act to replace two existing diesel school buses.
Janet McCabe, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, says Americans put their children on school buses for a safe ride to school, and shouldn’t have to worry about harmful pollutants emitted from those buses.
The districts must use matching funds from other sources to purchase the new buses.
Nationally, 76 school bus fleets in 30 states will receive rebates through the EPA.
